[Rhodes22-list] Electronic readers

[Art Czerwonky]

Chris,

I, too, am curious. Although it will be impressive, I am also certain is will probably be overkill for a reader.  Any of the would-be tablets I have seen are much bulkier, heavier, and more costly than either Kindle or Sony, either very easy to handle.  I have been surprised by the internet capabilities of the K, a free 3G feature for now.  Picks up wx and wx maps like a charm (B&W).

It really depends on what you need to accomplish.
